from a drink driving offence how long do the guards have to summons you?

before it is cancelled ?

Answer (by Davybhoy):
Truthseeker the Guards are the Irish Police, the question makes perfect sense! I am not totally sure with ROI mate. In the UK you just wait for a summons but it can be 6 months or more to be honest. You just have to wait but they won't forget!

If you are caught drunk on a bicycle, can you lose your driving licence?

Hasn't happened, just curious... for example, Andy Powell the Welsh rugby player, lost his for being over the limit driving a golf cart. Specifically for the UK.

Will a criminal record for drink driving stop my from becoming a care worker?

Ok so last year I was arrested and convicted for drink driving. It is something with embarrasses me to this day and I am more than ashamed and regretful of it. But I have wanted to be a care worker for some time. My mum works with young adults with autism and it is something I have thought long and hard about doing and would like to apply somewhere to do it. But the criminal record weighs heavy on my mind while thinking about it. It wasnt a crime of violence or theft or anything such as that and as I understand it the rules of the CRB checks are in place to stop perpetrators of violent crimes from working in close unsupervised contact with children and vulnerable people. So should this, one stupid, misguided act be a hindrance on my intentions to become a care worker? Also at the time of the offense I was in a bad financial situation and under a lot of stress from learning my dad had been diagnosed with cancer and went through a period of heavy drinking and did a few things I am not proud of. I would hate this stupid mistake to follow me around forever.

Remember when Arsenal players used to be hard, drink 20 pints after every game, drive home and then go to jail?

. for a couple of months and still win the title? Good old Tony Adams, a legend of the English game! and I mean that with all sincerity. Just to clarify, I wasn't justifying drink driving. I was trying to highlight how much the club has changed.

Most current drink driving laws in Ireland?

What are the most current drink drinig laws in Ireland? I know theres the Road Traffic Bill 2006 but was there not talk of one being introduced in late 2009 that lowered the limit even further, causing outrage?

Answer (by nerd alert):
The most common type of prosecution for drink driving is under these three sections for driving when over the prescribed limits for blood/alcohol, urine/alcohol or breath/alcohol. This means that the Garda or prosecution must prove that the person drove a vehicle while the concentration of alcohol in the blood exceeded 80 milligrams of alcohol per 100 millilitres of blood, section 49(2), or 107 milligrams of alcohol per 100 millilitres of urine, section 49(3) or 35 microgrammes of alcohol per 100 millilitres of breath section 49(4). copied from http://www.citizensinformation.ie/categories/travel-and-recreation/motoring-1/driving-offences/drink-driving-offences-in-ireland

Will a drink driving offence show up as a criminal record after 11 years and spent, or does it stay for life?

After 11 years it comes off your licence, however, does it stay as a criminal record for life?

Answer (by nas88car 300 Blue Deuce is #1):
i don't know how it works in the UK but here in the states it will follow you forever.. there is no more 2nd chance .. and in some states with the 4th DUI you could be in jail for at least 5 years along with your drivers license gone for good
